Liked This small, very quiet campsite was just as advertised, the shower and toilet were extremely clean and tidy. As a camper-van owner they were worth paying the extra for.
Disliked We would say the only minor change would be the key storage for the shower and toilet, not always easy to store the key back in the box but we are being picky. Again as a camper van owner we agree with the suggestion of adding washing-up facilities.

Liked Everything.
Its small
Its quiet
Its perfect.
Disliked Nothing really. If I'm being really really really picky, we would have liked sink washing up facilities for dishes. And maybe a pedestrian gate at the main entrance as we went for walks regularly. But this doesn't stop us giving 10/10 - and it doesn't stop this site going to the top of our list of local getaway sites. We look forward to staying here again (and hope they are as busy as they were this time 😉)

Lovely, peaceful site in a beautiful setting—we’ll definitely return.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite. The location is absolutely amazing—set in a beautiful village and surrounded by nature, with ducks, geese, and plenty of birdlife to enjoy. It’s a small CL site, which is exactly what we look for: peaceful, relaxed, and not overcrowded.
The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. It’s also perfectly situated—just 20 minutes from Norwich and about 15 minutes from Wroxham and the Broads, with a cycle trail nearby, so there’s plenty to explore.
The site had just reopened ahead of our stay, and the new shower facilities were finished in time for our arrival. They’re modern, clean, and very comfortable—definitely a great addition.
Overall, a lovely, peaceful site in a beautiful setting—we’ll definitely return.
Disliked There’s one shower to be shared. It wasn’t an issue for us, as during our stay we had it to ourselves, which felt like a bit of a luxury! (When we booked it was advertised without facilities, so it was a bonus having them).

From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful setting and wildlife around the site - it's exactly the atmosphere we hoped to create.
We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
